\(A\) speaks truth in \(75 \%\) of the cases and \(B\) in \(80 \%\) of the cases. Then, the probability that their statements about an incident do not match, is

  1. A \(\frac{7}{20}\)
  2. B \(\frac{3}{20}\)
  3. C \(\frac{2}{7}\)
  4. D \(\frac{5}{7}\)

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(\frac{7}{20}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Let Event A: A speaks the truth Event B: B speaks the truth \(\begin{aligned} & P(A)=75 \%=\frac{75}{100}=\frac{3}{4} \\ & \text { and } P(B)=80 \%=\frac{80}{100}=\frac{4}{5} \end{aligned}\) \(\therefore \quad\) Required probability…
